How to make a "Doll Bouquet"?
The popular Doll Bouquet in Korea can be found in many flower shops, but it seems there are no stores in Japan where you can order them.
But don’t worry! You can make a Doll Bouquet by yourself.
You will need a stuffed animal for the centerpiece, artificial flowers, wrapping supplies, wire, tape, and so on.
Recently, using Funky Flower stuffed animals has also become popular♡
Since the stems have wire inside that can be bent freely, you can make a bouquet of just Funky Flowers or use them as decorations around the main stuffed animal.
You can make it in a similar way to making a candy bouquet by bundling sweets together.
